slapd should not be running when you use slapadd.

You should actually do this:
1)Stop slapd
2)slapcat -l data.ldif
3)Edit slapd.conf, change ldbm to bdb, add a checkpoint directive (see
slapd-bdb(5)).
4)Move the existing database files
5)Add a DB_CONFIG file (see the FAQ-o-matic for some info here)
6)slapadd -l data.ldif
7)Check permissions of the database files
8)Start slapd
If you are running anything older than 2.3, there may be additional steps you
should take to ensure data integrity in the case of an unclean shutdown.
